Sprayed this after artwork done by regular chalk on a blackboard but all the artwork faded away or bled, how should I use it?

I understand that this product is to preserve a painted surface, not chalk. I have only used it on painted wood and worked well.

You can write on it with pencil but it should only be applied over a thoroughly dry paint. Preferably water based. Charcoal works better. Or a soft pencil. You may need a few coats to keep pencil from breaking through surface and hitting the paint.

It should not darken the chalk. However, you should always to a test piece prior to application.

I can think of some cool applications for using silver markings around the edge of a chalkboard, or whatever! Sounds like a fun decorating idea! I would think that it would wear down the tips quickly b/c the board surface is rough. Also, if you had a dark colored board (like the classic greenish), it might not show well, especially if writing with thinnish lines. The resulting marks made by the markers are not shiny, just silver colored...think sort of "bright" gray. Have fun! They are certainly cheap enough to try out your idea.

I used nail polish to give it an interesting coloring. Do not use food coloring or acrylic paint. The reaction is really bad.

I bought the Crayon Chalk, & now I cannot get it to come off. Do not use that, use regular chalk.

the best way to dilute these colors is with vodka or other clear alcohol(I use vanilla vodka) the alcohol evaporates quickly. in this way, you can use the colors in your airbrush or using a paintbrush

Hi Katya! I started with 4 thin coats of the Magnetic primer... Yes the smell was pretty bad! Then, once it was fully dried, I lightly sanded it smooth and wiped it with a damp lint free cloth. Once it had dried again I applied 2 topcoats of the Rust-Oleum 206540 Chalkboard Brush-On, Black Latex paint, and YES the smell went away in a day or two after the latex dried.

it soaks into things that are porous...I'm not putting it on my walls, but it has stained my picture frame chalkboard insert...I suspect the insert was wood painted with chalk board paint making it porous...also, they are all drying out pretty quickly...not impressed with them at this point....

We use on chalkboard painted menus. It wipes off fairly cleanly. Over time, a residue builds. If the surface is very shiny, you've got a good chance.

Chalk does work on this board, it must be traditional chalk, not "dustless" or "dust free" chalk. Those types have a coating or some type of binder in the chalk that makes them harder. We were able to get one of the dustless chalk sticks to work by "starting" it on a rough surface. It was like some kind of coating was rubbed off and it exposed the soft chalk.One brand that worked well was "Kids Art" from CVS Pharmacy $1.29 in a box of 20, indicates "merry brite" brand. I could not find that on Amazon when searching the name or the UPC.I agree with Kevin C, the marker that comes with the board is easier to use and cleans with water.

Use a Q tip or small paint brush, to apply. The dye will soak and run more than you expect; it's alcohol based. Good luck!

You have mix the paint with water until it flows through the black piece with the small hole. If the paint is to thick you have to constantly clean it. Took a few tries to get it right. Hope this helps.

I used a chalk marker and it didn't come off so I had to repaint it. But regular chalk comes off fine

I would test a small area first,just to make sure. I have not actually used this particular brand on my drawings, but have used another similar product on pencil drawings,and that worked fine. I would worry that in any art work done in marker the colors may end up bleeding into each from the initial moisture of the spray. Maybe try a test piece first and do several light layers of the spray if the test works.

This won't work At all....you need a permanent marker for that...try looking for a permanent chalk marker in white

All I could think youd need is the dupli color prep spray or something similar and some primer incase you have bare metal spots where paint has chipped off. Goes on super black after a month or so it fades slightly not too much though
